While on foot patrol in North Camden around 11 p.m. Monday, Camden County Police Officers Kenneth Egan and Nicholas Voorhees came upon a vehicle with tinted windows at 5th and York streets that was parked with the engine running, driver’s side door open and no driver.

As the officers approached, Charles Brown, 19, of Camden, ran up to the driver’s side door and placed something under the seat. He then tried to walk away from the vehicle but was stopped by the officers.

Brown could not produce a driver’s license or other identification.

Looking inside the car, Egan saw the handle of a gun sticking out from beneath the driver’s seat — a loaded 9mm Luger Model C9.

Brown and two juveniles in the back seat of the car were detained, and Brown later admitted that the gun was his.

He was charged with possession of a weapon, second-degree, and certain persons not to have weapons.
